We have been do a few updates to our house lately. It's been fun and we've learned a few things in the process.
I don't have a before picture, but the sink was off white with glittery gold swirls. The faucet was silver with white tips, and the light fixture was light colored wood with gold metal and round bulbs sticking straight out. Now everything matches!
We had a cute little helper...
As most projects are, this one took a little longer than we anticipated. The sink didn't quite fit because when the house was built it wasn't measured correctly. It was 49 inches from stud to stud, not wall to wall. So we had to cut out part of the wall, angle the sink down on top of the vanity, press it down, then fix the wall. And once we got the sink in we decided to take it back. There was a big scuff mark on the edge of the sink that someone had tried to fix. It was a big hassle to take it back and get another one, but we paid for a new sink and the one we had obviously was not. Now that it is done we are really glad we too the extra time and energy to take it back and get another one.
We also painted the kid's bedrooms. The are now a nice neutral gray and not crazy brown and blue...
The big kids spent a couple days out at grandmas so Scott and I could work on these projects together. (We still had Chloe and sometimes Brooke, but they take naps.) We had a lot of fun together. Now we are throwing around the possibility of selling our house. Hmmm....
